An EMT who was injured in an ambulance crash on March 2 had to have his leg amputated, according to WPEC-TV.
EMT Chris Doyle and the ambulance's driver, Paramedic William Hines, were both injured when an SUV slammed into them, causing the emergency vehicle to roll over.
Hines was transported to the hospital where he was treated and released for injuries while the SUV's driver, 63-year-old Germaine Lindor, was pronounced dead at the scene.
After being rushed to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center, doctors determined that Doyle's left leg was so badly injured, that they would have to amputate it, according to the report. He is recovering in the hospital and has several more surgeries left.
Despite having to learn to live with a prosthetic, Doyle is just thankful to be alive.
"You wouldn't think you'd be happy after something like that," he told the news station. "It's life changing, but I'm happy I still have my life."
